Transcription
The packages sent to Hotton through Barthold Staphorst, a merchant of Rotterdam, have not arrived. There are problems with the carrier. Hotton reminds Sloane of requests made in previous letters and includes instructions for sending things. He lists recently published books. Peter Hotton (1648-1709), also known as Petrus Houttuyn, was Professor of Botany and Medicine at Leiden University. He supervised the university’s botanic gardens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrus_Houttuyn).
